SRX Controller

The SRX Controller application exercises direct control over the projector via the projector’s serial control port. Operations using the SRX Controller can be in conflict with operations using the Projectionist Terminal or the SMS Controller. The SRX Controller application should not be used at the same time the Projectionist Terminal or SMS Controller is in operation. Once changes using the SRX Controller are completed, refresh the SMS Server stored Projector data.

Network Data StorageWhen the Network Data Storage system for the facility uses Microsoft Windows as the operating system it is recommended that you use Network Files System (NFS) for optimum performance in accessing files across the network. Alternatively, SAMBA may be used for connectivity between the SMS Server and the network storage computer. SAMBA is a suite of applications that provides seamless file sharing services to SMB/CIFS clients, i.e., to Microsoft Windows.

If connectivity to the Network Data Storage is lost the following steps should be taken.

• Verify the Network Data Storage system is working.

If connectivity issues still cannot be resolved it may be necessary to remove and re-create the Network Storage locations using the SMS Controller application. See Settings/Folders on the SMS Controller for more information.

If you are still unable to establish connectivity with the Network Data Storage system, execute a system Power OFF/ON. This will require Initializing Security.

Emergency Alert

The SMS features the ability to recognize an external Emergency Alert signal and take one or more of the actions enabled on the EMERGENCY OPERATIONS screen in the SMS Controller application. Actions available in response to an Emergency Alert signal are:

• Stop Current Show• Disable Playback• Lamp Douse• Lamp OFF• Audio Muting• System Shutdown

Refer to the SMS Controller User Guide for additional information relating to the Emergency Alert handling capabilities of the system.

Note: The availability of the Emergency Alert feature is set during system installation and configuration.

When the System Shutdown option has not been enabled, the receipt of an Emergency Alert causes the alert message illustrated to the right to appear. Once the Emergency Alert has been cleared, click OK and the message closes. If the Emergency Alert has not been cleared the message will close but will reappear some seconds later.

Playlist Elements

The hierarchy of a Show Playlist is intended to allow inclusion of either Content (CPL), other Sub-Playlist(s) or Commands. The structure of a typical Show Playlist is shown in the illustration below.

Composition Playlist (CPL)Composition Playlists are shown on the right in the above illustration and are the Content (essence files) and references required to play the Content. Content (the CPL) is always at the lowest level of a Show Playlist hierarchy. The CPL is more easily referred to as “Content” since it is comprised of one or more actual track files of a single essence type (e.g., sound, image, subtitles).

Show Playlist (SPL)The above illustration shows the structured approach available to Show Playlist creation which allows the exhibitor to create “set pieces” or Show Playlists (essentially a Sub-Playlist) that can easily be incorporated into a new higher-level Show Playlist. Using this approach the exhibitor can easily make changes allowing different content to surround the feature presentation based on the positioning of the Show in the daily Schedule.

CommandsCommands are Playlist Elements which are either Automation Controls, i.e. external device triggers, (dim house lights, open curtain, etc.) or Auditorium Unit control events such as, Media Block Audio Control functions (Muting) or Projector Control functions (Douser).

If a name has been included in the distribution the name may not be one that is easily recognized by the user. The feature allows you to Rename the DCP for easier reference.

Note: If a DCP is renamed and then subsequently ingested again the assigned name will be lost and the DCP name will revert to the name assigned (if any) when the distribution package was created.

To rename an existing DCP, tap Menu, tap Content, and then tap Manage DCPs. The MANAGE DCPs pane appears. Tap either the Scroll Up or Scroll Down arrow until you locate the DCP of interest, tap the DCP to select, and then tap Rename. An on-screen keyboard appears. Using the keyboard, enter the new DCP Name and then tap ENTER.

Ingest DCPs

A Digital Cinema Package (DCP) must be ingested into the Media Block’s RAID storage system. This process occurs under control of the Media Block.

To Ingest one or more DCPs, tap Menu, tap Content and then tap Ingest DCP. The INGEST DCP pane appears.

The DCP Ingest feature includes the ability to start more than one DCP ingest process. While the majority of DCP operations will normally take place using the SMS Controller, similar features have been added to allow operators to perform DCP Ingest tasks when the need arises.

To assist the operator in the ingest process, a USB connector (Ingest Port) has been located on the Lamp Breaker Panel as shown in the illustration.

Located to the right of the RS-232 connector is a USB connector labelled Ingest Port. You can plug a USB 2.0 Drive into this connector and it will appear as a folder in the Ingest DCP list.

The only function available on the INGEST DCP pane is Ingest (shown in the illustration below).

Because a DCP is a container for a number of files, the DCP appears as a folder in the DCP Ingest list. The target DCP is found in one of the folders which have been defined using the SMS Controller based on fixed locations where storage/transfer media can be attached to the system or network. To located the target DCP, tap Scroll Up or Scroll Down until you find the desired top level folder and then tap the folder view its contents. Again, Scroll Up or Scroll Down to locate the target DCP, tap to select and then tap Ingest. The DCP Ingest job is placed at the end of the Ingest queue for processing. If you have more than one DCP to ingest, locate the next DCP, select and then tap Ingest.1

If you wish to cancel an ingest job, you must use the functions found under “DCP Ingest Status” on page 20. Tap Menu, tap Content and then tap DCP Ingest Status.

Note: The folder hierarchy on the transfer media may be more than one level deep. Continue to navigate folders until the target DCP has been located.

To assist the operator in the ingest process, a USB connector (Ingest Port) has been located on the Lamp Breaker Panel as shown in the illustration.

Located to the right of the RS-232 connector is a USB connector labelled Ingest Port. You can plug a USB 2.0 Drive into this connector and it will appear as a folder in the INGEST KDM list.

From the INGEST KDM pane you can copy the KDM from its storage location into the Media Block RAID Storage. In addition, you can view the details of the selected KDM.

A USB drive has a folder structure that may contain other folders or a number of files. Once the USB drive is plugged in to the Ingest Port, it will appear as a folder in the INGEST KDM list. The target KDM appears as a file and can be found in one of the folders on the USB drive.

Alternatively, the KDM file may be located in one of the folders which have been defined using the SMS Controller based on fixed locations where storage/transfer media can be found/attached to the system or network. To locate the target KDM, tap Scroll Up or Scroll Down until you find the desired top level folder and then tap the folder view its contents. Again, Scroll Up or Scroll Down to locate the target KDM, tap to select the KDM and then tap Ingest to begin the ingest process. Since a KDM is usually

Projector

Basic control of selected Projector system functions are available from the Projectionist Terminal. In the R210/R220 based system, reference to the “Projector” includes only the projector portion of the Auditorium Unit. When the Projector is in STANDBY various subsystems of the auditorium unit are still operational. To Shutdown the Auditorium Unit refer to “Restart SMS Server” on page 46.

Note: When the Projector is in STANDBY mode the system remains active and accessible via either the Projectionist Terminal or the SMS Controller application. When the Auditorium Unit has been Shutdown you must execute a Power ON sequence which is described in “Restart SMS Server” on page 46.

The Projector menu selection allows you to access the information and control functions for the following areas.

• Projector Control• Function Setup

To access Projector menus, tap Menu and then tap Projector. The Projector Menus appear.

From PROJECTOR CONTROL you can place the Projector system in STANDBY, return it to ON (operational mode), turn off the LAMP, DOUSE the image output, recall a preset configuration, and adjust the Luminance Offset applied to the current presentation from the Digital Cinema projection system.

From FUNCTION SETUP you can modify a limited number of projector settings; Lamp Power, Zoom, Focus and Electrical V Shift, and save these new settings to the Current Function.

Projector Control

The PROJECTOR CONTROL pane contains basic controls in addition to Current Function select and the Luminance Offset control. To access Projector Controls, tap Menu, tap Projector and then tap Projector Control. The PROJECTOR CONTROL pane appears.

Note: Changes made on the PROJECTOR CONTROL pane effects the presentation as soon as the selection is made.

Caution: The xenon short-arc lamp utilizes a fused quartz envelope with tungsten electrodes. Because tungsten and quartz have different coefficients of thermal expansion, it is important to observe a minimum cool-down time of 16 minutes after the Projector is set to STANDBY or the Lamp is set to OFF before the Projector is set to ON (Lamp ON) to insure that the envelope to electrode junctions are not overly stressed. Additional information is outlined in the following:

• STANDBY to ONWhen changing the projector mode from STANDBY to ON a 30 minute warm-up period should be observed to allow the unit to reach its optimal operating state. During this period the Lamp is on and the imaging panels are temperature stabilized. Presentation of content is possible during the warm-up period, although you may notice some artifacts in the image.

• LAMP OFF to ONPresentation of content is possible as soon as the Lamp output stabilizes.

• LAMP ON to STANDBYTurning the Lamp OFF between shows can reduce lamp replacement frequency. However, a cool-down period of about 15 minutes is recommended after setting Lamp OFF or STANDBY mode.

Set Projector to ON/STANDBYUsing the STANDBY function insures that various components of the Projector will shutdown in a orderly manner and fans will continue to run so proper cooling of the Projector is insured during the process.

PROJECTOR BREAKER TO OFF AS LAMP COOLING WILL BE LOST AND THE RISK OF LAMP FAILURE IS INCREASED.

The following table provides a guide to the possible Projector State/State transition possibilities.

Set Projector To ONTo place the Projector in the ON mode, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then in the Power group tap ON. The system will transition from STANDBY mode to ON mode and the projection lamp will be illuminated.

While the system will be available for operation as soon as the lamp is operating, we recommend a minimum of 30 minutes warm-up time to allow the imaging panels to attain operating temperature and the projector lamp to stabilize its light output.

Set Projector To STANDBYTo place the Projector in STANDBY mode, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then, in the Power group, tap STANDBY. You will be prompted to confirm the action. Tap YES to confirm.

The system will transition from an operational mode to STANDBY. Internal fans will continue to run until the lamp and lamp assembly has cooled. DO NOT REMOVE AC-MAINS POWERUNTIL THE PROJECTOR INDICATES STANDBY MODE.

Set Projector LAMP OFF/ONThe Projector Lamp may be turned OFF while allowing the Projector to continue in an operational mode. When the Lamp is turned OFF the imaging panels remain powered and under temperature control.

The LAMP OFF/ON button is available only when the Projector is in the ON mode. To turn the Projector Lamp OFF, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then in the Power group tap LAMP OFF. The Lamp OFF button goes dark (as shown to the right), Change Function and Calibrate Luminance RESET become unavailable, but the Projector remains ON as indicated by the ON button remaining illuminated. (See inset in the previous illustration.) Temperature stabilization remains applied to the imaging panels when the LAMP OFF feature is used in place of setting the Projector to STANDBY.

To return the Projector Lamp to ON, tap ON. While the system will be available for operation as soon as the Lamp is illuminated, optimum image presentation will not be realized for a minimum of 10 minutes. This additional time is required to allow the projector lamp to achieve operating temperature and stabilize. Once the Projector Lamp in ON, Change Function and Calibrate Luminance RESET become available.

Note: Turning the Lamp OFF between shows can reduce lamp replacement frequency. However, a cool-down period of about 15 minutes is recommended after setting Lamp OFF or STANDBY mode.

DO NOT REMOVE AC MAINS POWER TO SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM OR SET THE PROJECTOR BREAKER TO OFF AS COOLING WILL BE LOST TO THE PROJECTOR AND LAMP.

Douse the ProjectorThe DOUSER control function in the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen serves the same purpose as the “douser” on the film projector. In fact it works in much the same way by placing an opaque blade in the output light path.

When you set the projector DOUSER to ON the auditorium screen goes dark. However, this only applies to the image portion of the presentation. The audio portion of

the presentation continues and must be muted using the separate Audio Muting control.

Douser ON (Closed)The DOUSER control is an alternate action button whose current state is indicated by the status label and a status indicator in the OFF/ON button. When the control’s status indicator is out (label shows OFF) the the douser is open and the current presentation (image) appears on the auditorium screen.

To douse the projector output, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then, in the DOUSER block, tap the alternate action OFF/ON button. The projector output is doused, the auditorium screen goes dark and the control button label changes to ON and its status indicator is lit (see inset in illustration). The Projector Lamp remain energized ON).

Douser OFF (Open)The projector Douser is activated by an alternate action control button whose current state is indicated by the status indicator located in the ON/OFF button. When the indicator is illuminated (label shows ON) the projector DOUSER is closed and the auditorium screen is dark.

To restore the projector output (open the “douser”), tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then, in the DOUSER block, tap the alternate action ON/OFF button. The projector output is restored, the auditorium screen is illuminated, the control button label changes to OFF and the button status indicator is dark.

Audio MutingThe AUDIO MUTING control function in the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen causes the sound output from the Auditorium Unit to be silenced. In film based systems this may be coupled to the DOUSER but in Digital Cinema the image presentation has been decoupled from the sound presentation to make the system more versatile for non-cinema presentations.

When you set the AUDIO MUTING to ON the sound to the auditorium is silenced. However, this only applies to the sound portion of the presentation. The image portion of the presentation continues and must be Doused using the DOUSER control.

Audio Muting ON (Silence)The Audio Muting control is an alternate action button whose current state is indicated by the status label and a status indicator in the OFF/ON button. When the control’s status indicator is out (label shows OFF) the audio output is enabled and the current presentation sound is available in the auditorium.

To silence the audio output, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then, in the AUDIO MUTING block, tap the alternate action OFF/ON button. The sound output is silenced, the auditorium is silenced, and the control button label changes to ON and its status indicator is lit (see inset in illustration). The presentation continues to run.

Audio Muting OFF (Sound ON)Audio Muting is activated by an alternate action control button whose current state is indicated by the status indicator located in the ON/OFF button. When the indicator is illuminated (label shows ON) the sound output is silenced.

To restore the sound output, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then, in the AUDIO MUTING block, tap the alternate action ON/OFF button. The sound output is restored, the auditorium sound is restored, the control button label changes to OFF and the button status indicator is dark.

The configurations are stored and available on a pop-up accessed from the Projector Control screen. These are single button FUNCTION selections.

Note: A FUNCTION can be associated with a CPL and, indirectly, an SPL using the SMS Controller. In this way the same configuration is recalled whenever the associated Content Element is presented.

MANUALLY SELECTING A FUNCTION WILL CHANGE THE PROJECTOR SETTINGS UNTIL A NEW FUNTION IS SELECTED.

Manual FUNCTION selection is made from a pop-up that appears when you tap Change FUNCTION on the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen. To access the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen, tap Menu and then tap Projector Control. The Current FUNCTION selection is indicated in the Function group.

FUNCTION selection can also be the result of an association between a CPL and a FUNCTION or by including a Function Selection in the Show Playlist,

Select FunctionTo select a different Function, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Projector Control and then tap Change Function. The Change Function pop-up window appears. Tap the LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW until the specific FUNCTION is visible and then tap the desired FUNCTION button. Due to limitations of space the function names are truncated. If there is a question as to the FUNCTION verify the name to FUNCTION number relationship using the SMS Controller.

Caution: The projector adjustments and settings stored as the selected FUNCTION are immediately applied to the projector. During this period of time the auditorium screen may go dark. No confirmation message of the FUNCTION key selection is required. Also, there is no “undo”. If the previous setup was the results of a FUNCTION setting applied based on a CPL association, projector settings are changed to the new settings. Adjustments made but not saved on the FUNCTION SETUP pane will be lost.

The Projector FUNCTION selected is retained until a different FUNCTION selection is made or until a different FUNCTION is selected as a result of presenting a CPL with a different FUNCTION association or a SPL that includes FUNCTION Commands.

The FUNCTION selected will be the Current Function appearing on the FUNCTION SETUP screen and will be modified based on projector settings when Save to FUNCTION is executed.

Set Luminance OffsetDuring installation of the SMS the Lamp Power is adjusted to provide the desired screen illumination (measured in foot/Lamberts). This value can be set in a FUNCTION as the calibrated lamp brightness for an associated aspect ratio.

On occasion, it is desirable to increase the screen luminance, i.e., raise lamp brightness, to meet special presentation needs. The Luminance Offset slider allows you to make this temporary (offset) adjustment.

Note: The Luminance Offset will remain in effect until you tap RESET which returns the offset to “0” (zero).

Luminance Offset (Adjust)The Luminance Offset control is a slider which allows you to make temporary adjustments to increase or decrease the screen luminance value (ft-L) within the predefined limits of Lamp Power for the bulb.

Function Setup

Just as in film projection there are a number of issues related to the configuration of the Digital Cinema projector for the venue and/or the content being presented. One easily called to mind in film is the aperture plate which is selected based on the image format. Because the Digital Cinema system can present content of varying formats the settings are much more complex. To ease the projector setup task the SRX-R210/R220 Projectors allow you to save specific configuration settings under twenty selectable FUNCTIONs (F1 through F20). The majority of the projector settings must be configured and saved to a FUNCTION using the SRX Controller1 application. However, some settings may require adjustment of a more immediate nature. These are available to you on the FUNCTION SETUP screen.

A limited number of adjustments are available on the FUNCTION SET-UP pane. To access Function Setups, tap Menu, tap Projector and then tap Function Setup. The FUNCTION SET-UP pane appears.

Caution: Any changes made to adjustments on the FUNCTION SET-UP pane change the presentation as soon as the adjustment is made. However, unless “Saved” prior to leaving the FUNCTION SETUP screen the changes will not be present the next time the same FUNCTION is selected. Changes which are Saved to the FUNCTION will be reflected in the settings returned the next time the indicated

FUNCTION is selected on the Projector Control panel or recalled when an SPL includes a CPL associated with the FUNCTION.

From the FUNCTION SETUP screen you can set LAMP POWER and adjust image related settings (ADJUST PROJECTOR). The settings are stored for later recall using the indicated FUNCTION (Current Function).

Configure FunctionFrom the FUNCTION SET-UP pane you adjust selected functions and can save the changed values to the Current Function (refer to “Change Projector Function” on page 26).

Verify Current/Target FunctionMAKE SURE THAT THE CORRECT (TARGET) FUNCTION, e.g., F2 WB-6500, APPEARS IN “Current Function” BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT ON THIS SCREEN.

Once changes are saved to the Current Function THERE IS NO “UNDO” and the changes you have made will affect the presentation every time the FUNCTION is recalled using either the Projector control screen or when the FUNCTION is associated with a CPL as part of a Show or SPL.

To change the Current Function refer to “Change Projector Function” on page 26. The Current Function indicates the FUNCTION selected either manually or by CPL to FUNCTION association.

Note: When a FUNCTION is selected on the PROJECTOR CONTROL pane it may take some seconds to complete the process as some adjustments are mechanical in nature, e.g., Zoom, Focus, etc. During this time the auditorium screen may be dark.

If you make changes to settings and prior to saving the changes exit the FUNCTION SET-UP screen the changes will be discarded. However, the changed settings on the projector remain until a new FUCNTION is selected.

Note: While adjustments will immediately affect the projector operation they are temporary and, unless Saved, will be lost when another FUNCTION is selected.

Adjust Lamp Power

Screen Luminance vs. Lamp PowerThe SRX-R210/R220 based system includes a Lamp Control Mode1 which can manage the screen luminance by directly measuring the brightness of the bulb using a photocell. During the system installation the Lamp Brightness, and therefore Screen Luminance, is calibrated against Lamp Power. This is realized by stepping the Lamp Power from its minimum value (50) to its maximum value (100), measuring the bulb brightness vs. the Lamp Power, and then storing this data in a table in the projector. A “Luminance Value” (bulb brightness) can be stored in a FUNCTION which is compared to the previously measured values stored in the projector table. Then, using the table, the Lamp Power is adjusted to achieve the value saved in the FUNCTION. Over the life of the lamp the Calibrate Luminance process should be run periodically to insure that the brightness vs. Lamp Power table is representative of the current bulb condition. It is recommended that Luminance Calibration is done about once a week.

Lamp Power Raise/Lower is used to adjust the bulb brightness and therefore the screen luminance. The Lamp Power indicator displays a value that is linked to the Maximum and Minimum Lamp Power parameters included in the Serial Code. However, the “Lamp Power” saved to a FUNCTION is a value based on the direct measurement of the lamp brightness as monitored by the same photocell used to calibrate screen luminance. Saving the measured lamp brightness value insures that when the FUNCTION is recalled the lamp brightness referenced by the FUNCTION is consistent through out the useful life of the bulb. If you arbitrarily adjust the Lamp Power and then save this new value to the Current Function, the new brightness value will be recalled whenever that FUNCTION is recalled either by selecting the FUNCTION on the Projector Control screen or when it is linked to a CPL.

Prior to adjusting the Lamp Power, verify that Current Function displays the desired target FUNCTION so if the adjustment is saved it is applied correctly. To change the Current Function refer to “Change Projector Function” on page 26.

To adjust LAMP POWER, tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Function Setup, and then either tap, or press and hold, the

LEFT ARROW (Lower) or RIGHT ARROW (Raise) while viewing the projected image on the screen.

Lamp Power changes are made in increments of 1%. The Indicator shows the current Lamp Power setting.

To save the bulb brightness or luminance value corresponding to the adjusted Lamp Power in the Current Function, tap Save to FUNCTION.

Caution: Once changes are saved to the Current Function THERE IS NO “UNDO” and the changes you have made will affect the presentation every time the indicated FUNCTION is recalled using either the Projector control screen or when the FUNCTION is associated with a CPL as part of a Show or SPL. This is especially significant for Lamp Power because the bulb brightness, i.e., screen luminance value stored in the Current Function may have been set to a standard value, e.g., 14 ft-L using a luminance measurement device.

If you make changes to settings and, prior to saving the changes, exit the FUNCTION SET-UP screen the changes will be discarded. However, the settings will be retained on the projector until a new FUCNTION is selected.

Adjust ProjectorThe digital image (from the Content Element file) appears on the imaging devices as a “flat” picture. For this reason, it is practical to use projection lenses that optically zoom to properly size the image for the auditorium screen. The lens Zoom setting is associated with the Current Function and recalled when that FUNCTION is selected on the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen or associated with a CPL. This is a mechanical adjustment of the projector lens2 and should not be confused with any kind of image manipulation creating a zoom effect.

When you configure the Projector for an aspect ratio, e.g., 2.39:1 (CinemaScope®), 1.85:1 (VistaVision®) or 1.33:1 (Academy), the SRX-R210/R220 sets the lens zoom to a defined point so the larger of the image dimension fills the screen. During projector installation the lens zoom setting is adjusted using internal Projector Test

1.The Lamp Control Mode is set on the INSTALLA-TION screen of the SRX Controller application. This functions is disabled when the Lamp Power option is used, under which the Lamp Power value is saved to the FUNCTION instead of the photocell measured brightness. When the FUNCTION is recalled, the ac-tual lamp power will be set to the saved value. In this case, Calibrate Luminance operation is not required.

Patterns or a standard test DCP. Zoom positions for common aspect ratios would be stored in selected FUNCTIONS1 using the SRX Controller2. Once these settings are memorized to a FUNCTION the LSM-100 Screen Management System software can associate these FUNCTIONS with a CPL which recalls lens settings when the CPL is included in a presentation.

Lens focus can also be stored in a FUNCTION. By storing the focus gear position, the SRX-R210/R220 can recall the correct lens focus position when the LSM-100 associates the FUNCTION with a CPL which recalls the lens focus setting3 when the CPL is included in a presentation.

Electric V shift applies a vertical position offset to the image. This setting is stored in the FUNCTION and, when the LSM-100 associates the FUNCTION with a CPL, a vertical offset is recalled and applied to the image when the CPL is included in a presentation. This vertical offset of the image is used to adjust for any slight displacement in the vertical center of the image when different aspect ratios are included in a single presentation.

The ADJUST PROJECTOR group is where the lens mechanical Zoom and Focus adjustments, and the image Electric V shift adjustment are located.

To operate controls in the ADJUST PROJECTOR group, you tap or press and hold the Plus or Minus buttons.

Prior to adjusting the Zoom, Focus or Electric V shift, verify that Current Function displays the desired target so when the adjustment is saved it is applied to the correct FUNCTION.

Zoom (Image Size)Because the image from the DCP file appears on the imaging device as a “flat” image it is practical to use projection lenses that allow you to zoom to properly size the image to the auditorium screen. The Zoom setting is associated with the Current Function and recalled when that FUNCTION is selected on either the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen or the associated CPL is included in a presentation. Zoom is a mechanical adjustment of the projector lens and should not be confused with any kind of image manipulation creating a zoom effect.

To adjust Zoom (the image size), tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Function Setup, and then either tap, or press and hold, the Minus or Plus button associated with Zoom while observing the projected image on the screen. This adjustment is normally done using the CinemaScope/Vista Projector Test Patterns (see “Test Pattern (Select)” on page 42). However, it may be necessary to observe the actual content (CPL) while setting Zoom to insure that the screen is properly filled while still not spilling the image onto the screen mask or surround. In this case, it is recommended you create a new FUNCTION which is specific to the CPL using the SRX Controller application.

Focus (Image Sharpness)The Focus setting is associated with the Current Function and recalled when that FUNCTION is selected on the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen or associated with the CPL. This is a mechanical adjustment of the projector lens and should not be confused with any kind of electrical focus adjustments.

To adjust Focus (image sharpness), tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Function Setup, and then either tap, or press and hold, the Minus or Plus button associated with Focus while observing the projected image on the screen. Adjusting Focus is usually realized using a DCP containing a suitable test image and typically only done during the configuration process. Observing actual Show content while setting focus is not recommended.

The SRX Controller is a stand alone software application that allows a computer to directly control the SRX-R210/R220. This control is via the serial connection located on the rear panel of the projector just below the circuit breakers. When adjustments are made using the SRX Controller the changes and settings are not automatically transferred to the SMS Server and therefore, do not appear on the Projectionist Terminal. A REFRESH button is available on the PROJECTOR MAINTENANCE pane which causes the SMS Server to query the Projector and make the refreshed data available to the Projectionist Terminal.

Executing the Calibrate Luminance function should be done with care as this can affect the Lamp Power range and cause the brightness of the image to change. Selecting a Test Pattern will interrupt the presentation image.

Operations available on the Maintenance screen are;

• REFRESH LSM-100The Refresh Projector Data button reloads the SMS Server application (LSM-100) with all the Projector data.

The Refresh function is used whenever the SRX Controller1 has been connected directly to the projector to accomplish maintenance operations, e.g., bulb replacement. After the SRX Controller has been disconnected from the projector you should refresh the SMS Server (tap Refresh Projector Data) which will update the SMS Server with any changes made using the SRX Controller application.

Note: Refresh Projector Data is a maintenance function. Refreshing the SMS Server with new data from the projector takes some time and may result in unexpected projector operation should this action be taken during Show presentation.

• LAMP INFORMATIONDisplays the Serial Code, Lamp Serial Number and the maximum rated Lamp Power.

• ADJUST/TEST• Calibrate Luminance

Calibrate Luminance allows you to calibrate the Luminance vs. Lamp Power table stored in the Projector.

• Test Pattern (Select)Test Pattern selects one of a group of predefined test patterns.

Because Lamp Output vs. Lamp Power drops most rapidly during initial hours of operation you may wish to Calibrate Luminance more often, e.g., every 25 hours of lamp operation, during this period. Typically, after the initial 100 hours of lamp operation the changes to Lamp Output vs. Lamp Power is more gradual and executing Calibrate Luminance every 50 to 100 hours of lamp operation should be adequate.

Refresh LSM-100 (SMS Server)In the REFRESH LSM-100 group you can manually force the SMS Server application (LSM-100) to refresh the SMS Server with Projector stored data.

Normally the SMS Server is the only device controlling the Projector and tracks any changes made by the SMS Server to the Projector as they are made. However, if changes are made to Projector settings using the SRX Controller application these changes are not under the control of the SMS Server and are invisible to it. While normal operation does not make use of the SRX Controller application, maintenance operations may. Once any changes are made to the Projector using the SRX Controller, you should insure that you are seeing the most current information on the Projectionist Terminal by manually refreshing the SMS Server data and then leaving and returning to the PROJECTOR MAINTENANCE pane.

To refresh the Projector Data, tap Menu, tap Maintenance, tap Projector, and then tap Refresh Projector Data in the REFRESH LSM-100 group.

Lamp InformationEvery lamp is identified by a unique 16 digit Serial Code that includes the manufacturer id, lamp power (min./max. range), and the individual lamp serial number.

The Serial Number of the currently installed Lamp and the Drive Elec. Power (max) is shown in LAMP INFORMATION. A new Lamp Serial Code is entered during the Lamp replacement process using the SRX Controller application or the Installer screen (Role restricted). The Lamp Hours and Timer ON Hours values (see “Lamp Status” on page 32) are automatically set to “0” (zero) and the Replacement Date is set to allow tracking of hours of usage following replacement.

Lamp usage must be monitored to insure the quality of the projected image. Generally, spectral content of a Xenon lamp is continuous and flat over its useful life however, the brightness will change and use of a Lamp beyond it’s maximum rated hours increases the chance of lamp breakage/explosion.

Adjust/TestProjector maintenance may require the re-calibration of Luminance and/or the use of one or more of the internal Test Patterns.

Calibrate LuminanceThe SRX-R210/R220 Projector includes a Lamp Control Mode feature which, when enabled using the SRX Control application, maintains a nearly constant screen luminance as the lamp ages and the bulb brightness vs. lamp power applied is reduced. During the lamp replacement procedure, lamp positioning is optimized. In addition, a lamp brightness (luminance) vs. Lamp Power table is created. This is the Calibrate Luminance process.

The calibration process uses an internal photo sensor which measures the lamp’s brightness while adjusting the Lamp Power across the Lamp Power range (50~100) as indicated in the lamp’s Serial Code. A brightness vs. lamp power table is created. This table is used as a reference (for adjusting lamp power) to maintain the lamp brightness value stored in the FUNCTION.

Note: The Calibrate Luminance process takes some time to complete and should not be done without an understanding of the calibration process. Normally it is done when the lamp is replaced and periodically to insure correct tracking of lamp brightness, i.e., screen luminance, vs. lamp power. Essentially, the process steps the Lamp Power from the minimum bulb rated setting to the maximum bulb rated setting and measures the photocell detected brightness. The results are saved in a table located in the Projector.

It is recommended that Luminance Calibration is done about once a week.

To Calibrate Luminance, tap Menu, tap Maintenance, tap Projector, and then tap Calibrate Luminance in the ADJUST/TEST group. A confirmation message appears. Tap YES to continue or tap NO to abandon the process.

Luminance calibration has only a relative impact on the actual screen luminance based on the value stored in a FUNCTION. This stored value is returned by the photocell sampling the bulb brightness to realize the desired value, e.g., 14ft-L, and stored in a specific labelled FUNCTION such as “CinemaScope® 14ft-L”. The Calibrate Luminance process is done to insure that a brightness vs. Lamp Power relationship is known to the Projector subsystem.

Two circuit breakers are located on the rear of the SRX-R210/R220 system which supply power to only the Projector portion of the Auditorium Unit.

Shutdown for the SRX-R210/R220 based projection system takes into account continuing cooling for the Lamp

after it has been set to OFF and to insure that the subsystems responsible for content storage and system control are properly cycled to a power off state. This process is managed by the SMS Server and is triggered by the removal of single-phase AC-mains power from the Auditorium Unit.

Caution: In the R210/R220 based Auditorium Unit, (AC-mains) Power to the projector subsystem coming from the distribution panel is routed through circuit breakers located on the rear panel of the Auditorium Unit. Appropriate precautions should be taken when working in and around the system as other power in the Auditorium Unit is not controlled by these rear panel circuit breakers. Power to critical devices contained in the Auditorium Unit enclosure is supported by an internal UPS and power may still be present for a period of time even when AC-mains have been removed or turned off at the distribution panel.

Initiate System ShutdownTo shutdown the Auditorium Unit execute the following steps:

1 Set Projector to OFF Mode

Click Menu, click Projector, click Projector Control and then in the POWER group click STANDBY.

2 Verify Lamp Cooldown

Because of the high temperatures of the projection lamp it is important to observe the minimum Lamp cooldown period before continuing. For additional information on Lamp cooldown, see “LAMP ON to STANDBY” on page 24.

The Lamp Indicator is illuminated green when the Lamp is in operation. During the cooldown cycle (Lamp OFF or STANDBY mode), the Lamp Indicator will begin flashing. When the Projector is set to STANDBY mode the flashing indication will continue for anything from 3 minutes to 15 minutes. When

cooldown is complete, the Lamp Indicator will change to red.

3 Initiate Shutdown

Once both the AC-mains and Lamp Indicator LEDs have changed to red, you can remove the AC-mains power from the Auditorium Unit1. Removal of AC-mains triggers an automatic shutdown of the Media Block, the SMS Server and finally the UPS.

Shutdown from Menu (configuration option)System shutdown normally is initiated simply by removing the single-phase AC-mains power from the Auditorium Unit2. However, the system may be configured during installation to provide a System Shutdown option available as a menu selection3 under Restart SMS Server.

To access System Shutdown, tap Menu, tap Restart LSM-100 and then tap System Shutdown. A confirmation message appears. Tap YES to initiate the Shutdown process.

Note: Once Shutdown has been confirmed there is no way to abort the process.

The Shutdown process can take an extended period of time if initiated while the Lamp is ON. This delay is because of the requirement for cool down of the Projection Lamp. Once the Projector enters STANDBY mode, (Lamp cooldown has completed4) the SMS Server initiates the sequenced shutdown process, i.e., Media Block, UPS (delayed shutdown command which allows for shutdown of the SMS Server), and the SMS Server.

1.Remove both single-phase and three-phase AC-mains.

2.AC-mains may be removed only after Lamp cooldown has completed.

3.Shutdown from Menu is not the default operation but an option configured locally during the system in-stallation and configuration.

4.It can take up to 20 minutes for the Lamp cool down cycle to complete if System Shutdown is executed di-rectly from Lamp ON mode.

Theater Setup and System Security

Overview

A new feature available in Version 2.1 includes designated users with restricted access to specific options and adjustments done as part of the normal maintenance of the system, and to initialization of the Cavity Security System (CSS) and to generating and managing devices logs.

Theater Setup

Theater setup functions are related to operations that are conducted by qualified maintenance personnel on a routine basis. They are:

• Lamp Replacement (wizard)The Lamp Replacement Wizard guides you through the process of entering the 16 digit serial code for the new Lamp and Resetting the Lamp Timer. Previously, resetting of the Lamp Timer was found in the Maintenance functions.

Note: Lamp replacement should only be performed by knowledgeable personnel. Refer to the Digital Cinema Projector Service Manual for additional information.

• Lamp Axis Adjustment (wizard)The Lamp Axis Adjustment Wizard guides you through the process of adjusting the X, Y, and Z axes of the new lamp to optimize its location in the reflector. Previously, Lamp Axis adjustment was realized by using the use of the SRX Controller application.

Note: Lamp Axis adjustment should only be performed by knowledgeable personnel. Refer to the Digital Cinema Projector Service Manual for additional information.

• Registration AdjustmentThe Registration Adjustment screens provide access to the electrical adjustment to the X and Y position of the Red, Green and Blue images. Previously, the X/Y

adjustment of the images was realized by using the SRX Controller application.

• Filter Timer ResetThe quality of the air circulating through the Projector enclosure is filtered. To insure that the air quality is maintained, these enclosure filters are periodically replaced. The Filter Timer function has been added in Version 2.1.

System Security

System Security functions allow the user to Initialize Security of the “Cavity” (enclosure) and to set the system’s Secure Clock1 which governs application of decryption keys during playback.

The System Security features are designed to insure that any encrypted content cannot be accessed in an unsecure manner by making the decryption keys unavailable until the security has been initialized. In addition it insures that the content cannot be played on the Auditorium Unit outside of the date/time limitations placed on the content by the associated decryption key(s) (KDM) by controlling the ability to reset the system (secure) clock.

1.System Administration function accessible from the Projectionist Terminal vs. the Screen Management System Controller application differ. Refer to the SMS Controller User Guide for additional informa-tion.

On a successful login, the trsetup screen appears. Tap Menu and then tap Projector to access the trsetup menus.

Each trsetup menu is dedicated to a single function. Lamp Install and Lamp Axis Adjust are used following replacement of the projection lamp. When performing the Lamp Install function (entering a new Lamp Serial Code) the projector must be in STANDBY mode. Tap Power to access PROJECTOR CONTROL to set the Projector mode.

Note: Lamp replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel wearing protective garments as described in the Projector Service Manual.

Registration Adjust allows you to move the Red, Green, and Blue images in an X/Y axis to realize proper alignment of the images.

Filter allows you to reset the usage timers associated with the Optical and/or Power Supply areas in the Projector.

Lamp Installation

The “trsetup” Lamp Install function allows you to enter the a Serial Code for the replacement lamp. For detailed information relating to Lamp Replacement refer to the appropriate Projector Service Manual.

Previously, entering the new Lamp Serial Code associated with the Lamp Installation and replacement process was realized on the Maintenance->Projector screen or when using the SRX Controller application. In Version 2.1, the Serial Code entry feature has been relocated under the “trsetup” login and combined with other functions, i.e., Lamp X, Y, and Z axis alignment and Image Registration1, are now available using the Projectionist Terminal. Previously, these required using the SRX Controller application.

Note: These settings are only available through the predefined Theater Setup login thus insuring that these adjustments are only done by qualified personnel.

Enter Lamp Serial CodeTo enter a new lamp Serial Code, log in as “trsetup”, tap the Menu, tap Projector, and then tap Lamp Install.

Installation of a new lamp is a multistep process and once the lamp is installed the Lamp Serial Code must be set and the Lamp Axis (X, Y, and Z) must be adjusted for optimum light output. These two function can be realized as separate step and appear as separate selections under Projector menus. However, once the Lamp Install Serial Code entry process is completed the “Wizard” automatically continues on to the Lamp Axis Adjust steps.

The Wizard automatically checks for the correct Projector Power mode of operation, e.g., Lamp Install requires either STANDBY or LAMP OFF mode2 while Lamp Axis Adjust requires LAMP ON mode. For Lamp Axis adjustment the Lamp should be on for a minimum amount of time (approximately 5 minutes) to insure stability of its output. A countdown timer has been included to indicate how much time remains before axis adjustment can begin.

The Lamp Install “wizard” (initial screen shown below) begins the process of entering the Lamp Serial code for the new (replacement) lamp.

To proceed to Serial Code entry click Next.

Previously, Lamp Axis Adjustment was realized using the SRX Controller application. In Version 2.1, the Lamp Axis Adjust entry feature has been made available under the “trsetup” login and combined with other functions, i.e., Lamp Serial Code entry and Image Registration1. Previously, Lamp Axis Adjust required using the SRX Controller application.

Note: Lamp Axis Adjust is only available through the pre-defined Theater Setup login thus insuring that this adjustment is only done by qualified personnel.

Adjust X, Y, & Z Lamp Axis

Installation of a new lamp is a multistep process and once the lamp is installed the Lamp Axis (X, Y, and Z) must be adjusted for optimum light output.

Normally, the Lamp Axis Adjust process is performed following Lamp Installation and setting the Lamp Serial Code. In this case the Lamp Install wizard will automatically progress from Serial Code entry to Axis Adjust. However, if the axis adjustment cannot be performed at the time of installation you can directly access the Lamp Axis Adjust steps using the “trsetup” login.

Note: During Lamp Axis Adjust the rear door on the Projector must be unlocked and open to allow access to the X and Y adjustment screws. The rear panel on the Lamp Housing is closed and secured. For additional information refer to the Projector Service Manual.

The Wizard automatically checks for the correct Projector Power mode of operation, e.g., Lamp Axis Adjust requires LAMP ON mode. For Lamp Axis adjustment the Lamp should be on for an amount of time (approximately 5 minutes) to insure stability of the lamp output. A countdown timer has been included to indicate how much time remains before axis adjustment can begin.

The Lamp Axis Adjust “wizard” (initial screen shown below) begins the process of entering the Lamp Serial code for the new (replacement) lamp.

System Security

Two distinct areas are designed to insure that access to encrypted content is controlled. Once area insures that once the Cavity (enclosure) has been opened encrypted content cannot be played until the Cavity Security System (CSS) has been initialized by a trusted user.

The other area insures that the secure system clock governing playback of content cannot be reset to allow encrypted content by simply changing the system time to fall within the playable window contained in the decryption key (KDM). Occasionally, the system (secure) clock must be reset to compensate for variations. This task can be done by a trusted user.

Security Initialize

When the security of the Auditorium Unit has been breached or a tamper switch failure is detected, presentation is halted and cannot be resumed until Security has been initialized. The STATUS Alert is set RED, the MESSAGE Alert is set RED, and a Security Alert Message is generated and written to the Alert Message Log.

To Initialize Security of the Auditorium Unit you access the Security pane, tap Menu, tap Maintenance and then tap Security. The Security pane appears.

The Security indicator is illuminated red when a Security breach has occurred. While all users can view the Security pane (illustrated below), the ability to initialize the system security is restricted to a “trusted” user. This is done to insure that only responsible persons can access the interior of the

Auditorium Unit and then resume decryption of encrypted Content Elements and their presentation process.

It you are the “trusted” user you will also see a popup (shown to the right) relating to initializing the system security.

To initialize Cavity Security, tap YES. The Security indicator changes to green and presentation of encrypted content can resume.

Set Secure Clock - Media Block

The Auditorium Unit’s Secure Clock is integral to the Media Block and is used to determine when encrypted content can be played. Information related to the valid Begin and End dates for the decryption keys is included in the KDM associated with the encrypted content and is compared to this Secure Clock. Normally, resetting the Secure Clock is not a task that is done often as it has a high level of stability. However, when adjustment is required an adjustment range of +/- six minutes is allowed. Adjustments outside of this range are rejected by the Media Block.

Setting the Secure Clock is realized from the Clock Settings screen. When you are a “trusted” user an additional menu selection appears when you access the Maintenance menu.

To access Clock Settings, tap Menu, tap Maintenance, and then tap Clock Settings. The CLOCK SETTINGS screen appears.
